Okay everytime I try to include a file I get a "could not find include file" error. The directory is correct. I decided to start using include files because my code is starting to get huge and unmanagable and I want to break it up into many smaller files to manage it easier. So why won't it work. Is it my syntax?

Your best option is not to use the #Include commands at all.
If you want to include another file, use the IDE to include it instead.

Well, that would be the c++-way I think.
Just use a regular string in DBP;

but then the return line numbers from the compiler mean nothing...

Who needs a signature?

They do if you use CodeSurge.

I just tried that and I get a "Could not understand command inside B_C_Setup.dba" error

What is the IDE?

Okay, I got it working. Turned out, there was an error in the actual include file that needed to be fixed.

I'd still like to know what the IDE is though.

Integrated Development Environment, the editor.
